True False
Explanation / Answer
The equipotential surfaces have the same potential at all points. The spacing between the two equipotential surfaces depends on the field at that point. So the two equipotential surfaces will never intersect with each other but there is no need to be parallel to each other.
Ans: False
The electric field is defined as the force per unit positive charge. If the charge is positive then it will repel the test charge and if it is negative it attracts the test charge. So the field lines originates at positive charge and terminates at negative charge.
Ans: True
The direction of electric field is the direction in which a positive charge moves i.e. from higher potential to lower potential. So field lines are also in this direction.
Ans: True.
